NAVAL ACTIVITY
BERLIN, August 5.
The Taglishc Rundschau says the Government contemplates the creation of a special cruiser squadron to protect German interests abroad. The cruiser Yorck is being reconstructed, and several small cruisers will serve with her, while later on a second large cruiser will join the squadron.
LONDON, August 5,
The Daily Telegraph says that if it is worth Germany's while to establish a flying squadron in distant seas how much more insistent is the need to all the British people, who own half the shipping in the world and to whom open highways are essential. The need for showing the flag in the outer seas has never been denied, but the Motherland’s resources have proved insufficient for the Empire’s needs.
